I love the Seventies! That’s when I grew up. The boots are groovy, man. For me, I couldn’t wear women’s fashion back then despite admiring it from a distance. Given a chance to wear it now, I’d leap with joy!

That outfit is much better looking than anything I remember wearing in the 70s (although, I was only 11 when the 70s ended, so that could have been because of my age and my mom’s poor taste in kids clothing). I love it with the little jean jacket and the boots. Visiting from Visible Monday!

It’s amusing to me that the Seventies are having their moment again in terms of being considered stylish; they were the laughing stock of fashion decades for so long, had a brief resurgence in the Nineties, and now here we are again, loving the flares, platforms, maxis, floppy hats, A line skirts, and of course patchwork! I don’t mind everyone jumping on the bandwagon – I’ll still be wearing my vintage 70s clothes long after the fashionistas have moved on to something else. And so what if you’ve worn it all before? Who cares!
Love those boots, and the dress, and you know how I feel about denim jackets! Gorgeous hair too. xxx

I am a 70s child, so bell bottoms, fitted shirt and platform shoes have a spot in my heart! Great minds think alike, they say.. as a matter of fact I was shooting a 70s ensemble for the blog yesterday too but as usual mine always take the casual route while you, my dear never fail to add sophistication and effortless elegance to your look. The boots are stunning!

I didn’t live that fashion era, but I do have a pair of patchwork boots, but I bought them in the end of the 90s 🙂 I love all patchwork things, in fact! I never heard that quote before, but I am aware of it now 🙂 I think you look stunning with this outfit that is close to my heart – whenever I can, I like wearing denim jackets! You really look great – I loved the boots!

Hi!
I think i mentioned what a fan I am of your dress, and love how you styled these boots. I used to have the very pair that were ankle boots! So funny, i just don’t know what happened to them. love it

Amazing buy! Yes, i have seen those Prada boots in so many ads, and I like yours so much more!
Love the 70s boots with the more classic look, you made this outfit modern and relevant.
Plus, I love your hair . The sheath on you is a great color, too. Love the belt.

Perfection, Miss Lady! Your styling is genius. The bejeweled belt, ladylike sheath, and classic clutch balance out the rugged 70s vibe of the boots and jacket perfectly. The palette of the clay brown and denim blue is unexpectedly fresh, too!

At 28, trends are only just coming around a second time for me. It’s weird to see styles that were popularized when I was in middle school coming back. Take, for example, Saved by the Bell and Clarissa Explains It All. Those styles seemed cool and funky fresh when I was in middle school. Seeing today’s primary color prints, leggings under ripped denim, and brushstroke prints takes me back to my middle school days. And who really wants to go back there? I can’t think of many (any) trends from my young adulthood that I’d like to see return. Butterfly clips? No. Lacy chokers? No. Tanks layered over tees? No. No, I’d like trends from decades waaaaay past to come ’round again, but you already knew that!

Well don’t you look hot? You look ready for Richard Gere circa American Gigolo to turn up in a sports car and whisk you off to Studio 54.
Love those boots and the leather dress, denim jacket and wild curls are the perfect accessory. Wonderful, just wonderful.

I think those boots are deeee-licious and you’ve styled them perfectly with the jeans and the orange dress. I’ve seen a few pairs of patchwork boots at vintage shows but unfortunately, they are always too small or too narrow for my feet. I don’t wear any obvious 70’s trends but I am fond of 80’s big shouldered jackets (which I did not actually wear in the 80’s).

You styled your new boots with a matching sofa! You are amazing! Seriously, your outfit looks great but then I am not at all surprised. I love the boots and there is no way anyone can tell me not to wear 70s inspired stuff. If I like it I will wear it and I love the lines of so many seventies styles. I don’t like the polyester though, and don’t suit the earth tones so am very selective. I can admire it all on you though! xoxo

I’m so glad you linked up with SHOE AND TELL on Style Nudge! I absolutely LOVE your patchwork boots!!!!
Believe it or not I bought some that are similar years ago and love them. I also love how you styled them with the your nutmeg dress, jeweled belt and the jean jacket is a great finishing piece. I am a huge vintage lover, so I really appreciate your clutch. LOVE, LOVE your look!

Ha! Great minds, same channel! Looking very groovy, young lady. Couldn’t have styled it better. I think they’ll be completely mind blowing with some of your winter knits as well.
I go on at length (and on, and on …) in today’s post about having been present in the period and doing it again in new iterations. Great styles were wonderful when young and evolve, just getting more interesting with time. Just like me!

I feel a little weird a lot of the nineties styles also seem to be coming back, but half of that is because it is a lot of the ugly stuff I didn’t like the first time around (the colors. Why is melt-my-eyes neon back?). It is also funny to see the flared jeans back in. They were big when I was in high school, but you wore them very differently. This time around is definitely more 70s than 2000s flared jean.
